Who are we?

The Manitoba Genealogical SocietyInc. (MGS) is one of ten provincial genealogical organizations that endeavours to promote genealogical research and the writing of family histories. It is a registered charity formed in 1976 and incorporated in 1982. The main objectives of MGS are:

To assist researchers in doing their genealogical research.

To collect and preserve Manitoba genealogical and historical records/materials.

To foster education in genealogical research through Society workshops, seminars and publications.

Scope

MGS has some unique information on people who have lived in Manitoba (cemetery indexes, obituaries, BMDs – births, marriages, deaths, family history and local history books, etc.) but we also can assist researchers with ancestors and descendents from other Canadian provinces and other countries.
